3. Make the conversation interesting

Make the conversation an adventure. Learn to tell a great story and find topics that are naturally interesting to talk about. How do you get a better knack for this? It’s simple: Set yourself up in a place where you can hear the conversations women have. Listen to them talking to each other, see if you can notice the commonalities. But there’s a danger here: You don’t want to start acting like a woman’s “girl friend.” Yes, many women like to have gay friends, but that’s not what she really wants — and it’s not what you want to become. But do listen to conversations to get clues on how you can spice up your chats with women.
